“Karl Lagerfeld is unique among designers for his refusal to look back – even to his own great past.” says Suzy Menkes. “Both at Chanel and at Fendi, where he will mark 50 years at the design helm in 2015, Karl never focuses on the heritage, but looks forward to the future. The potential of digital technology and social media is also on the Lagerfeld radar. No-one is smarter or faster in perceiving fashion’s future and we look forward to hearing his insights.”
